#Okay to reblog!

be proud of your original characters. it's no easy task to create a character from scratch, to make them believable and real and human. it takes time. it takes dedication. so what if they aren't perfect right away? so what if there are still things you're only now figuring out after time? characters evolve, they go through changes and arcs and stories just like real people do. and it's okay if your character develops over time, you don't need to have it all figured out right away. there are some things that will only ever clear up after writing them for a while, finding their voice, and seeing the way they interact with other characters. but this is your character, your creation, and you deserve to feel proud about it no matter what.

AAahh I've been brainstorming a proper serval sona so here's a test design!

Wanted to make him a more of a true sona so I'm going with more accurate body type. He/Him only pls 🙏!!

Not sure about face markings yet but pretty content with most of the body. Will probably give him glasses later on.

Hello all, and welcome to the third round of salmonid adopts: Horrorboros edition! Availability, rules, and other information below the cut!

What is an adoptable?

An adopt is a pre-designed character that I create, and you can ‘buy’ to be able be able to use and claim as your own character. Of course, since these are splatoon based I’m not selling the concepts of splatoon, just the idea and design of the character itself.

INFO + RULES:

Once you buy the adopts, they’re yours. You’re welcome to redesign, alter, give away and/or trade as you see fit. The only thing I don’t allow is reselling for a higher price (same or below is fine).

Though these are meant to be splatoon adopts, you’re welcome to use them for any setting that you please! They’re not inherently limited to splatoon; especially the more unique characters.

The placeholder names, personality, and info are just.. placeholder/concepts! You can name them whatever you want, give them any pronouns, personality, lore, whatever! I won’t feel bad lol

Once I receive payment, I’ll send you a full size, transparent, unwatermarked image of your adopt!

I can hold them for up to a week!

If one is on hold, you can still message and ask to be next in line if whatever they’re being held for doesn’t work out.

AVAILABILITY + PRICING:

Base price for each adopt is currently $40 USD (A bit pricier than my usual ones cus I worked really hard on these ones + they're really detailed), however, you can check out some discounts at the bottom!

Also, please keep in mind that my last adopt post had an issue where I could not edit the post after posting it, so if you see this message, PLEASE check the notes to see if any have sold, as this list won't be accurate.

“SCREAMO” - ON HOLD [3/10/23] A horrorboros that decided to put their voice to use instead of filling their mouth with slime. Quit your big run, join my screamo band!

“CAROUSEL” - ON HOLD [3/11/23] After sneaking a peek at Wahoo World, this horrorboros fell in love with the aesthetic of the beasts on the carousel, and became inspired to work on some fashion... in between battles, of course.

“LITTLE PRINCE” - SOLD [Note: this is a 2 for 1, do not separate them <3 ] A cohozuna who's taken it upon themself to raise this silly little... noodle into a proper king salmonid.

“THE TOWER” - SOLD A young teen horrorboros who wants to be a stinger, not a silly booyah bomb thrower!

DISCOUNTS + DEALS

Yeah, we know this is what you’re here for!  I’m going to offer several discounts and deals, which are subject to change, and may or may not pop in and out! This is my first time trying some of this.

COMMISSION BUNDLE If you buy a character from me, you can also get a get a commission of that character for 25% off to come with it! This only applies once, and has to be worked out around the time of purchasing the character. You choose the type of commission you’d like! Commission info is here.

PASSION DISCOUNT If you do a piece of fanwork for one of these characters- come up with extensive lore, a piece of art, a piece of writing, etc- and I can tell you actually put some effort and passion into it, then you can get them for 30% off… making them $28! It doesn’t have to be anything fancy and I’m not going to judge you by how ‘good’ your work is- again, it’s only judged by passion for the character. If I can tell you genuinely enjoyed it and had fun and will love the character you get (instead of having them simply sit on a dusty shelf or resold, etc), you get the discount! If you’re worried about the work taking a while but you want to wait until it’s done to buy them, no worries! I can hold a character for up to a week for you.

BONUS LORE If you wanna shell out an extra $5, I can fully flesh out the placeholder lore for you and come up with something much more fleshed out! Names, backstory, personality, all the bells and whistles. I can also work with you to fit it into any preexisting lore or characters you might want them to be worked with! Once again, you’re welcome to change any of this- but I’ll work with ya on it to make sure it’s something you like!

TRADES I’m a bit iffy on art trades or character trades, but I’m not going to say they’re out of the question. You’re welcome to ask!

friendly psa about making new blogs.

i'm making this post because while it is a trick that i've been using for years, it is apparently something a lot of people aren't aware of when creating blogs. so, i'm here to fill you in.

tired of creating multiple emails just to make new blogs? well, do i have the solution for you!

here's a little secret: i've been using the same email for every one of my blogs since roughly 2015. how am i doing that? basically, you use a single email and tack on the blog name or character name and voila — activation emails will all be sent to the main email and you can input whatever url/character name you want as you create new blogs.

example:

faeishelping2024+faegfx@hotmail.com

this means that all activation emails will be sent to 'faeishelping2024@hotmail.com' and you only need to exchange the '+faegfx' for whatever muse/blog name you want. just make sure to keep the '+' there as well. this isn't limited to gmail, either. you can use any email service and it should work just the same.

for ease of finding things, i made an email just for tumblr rp stuff so that activation emails and notifications wouldn't get lost in my incoming mail with my main/work email. that way, all my tumblr rp stuff is in one place. i'd highly suggest doing the same if you want to keep things a little more organised.

hope you all find this helpful! if you have any questions or are still a little unclear how it works, feel free to shoot me a message!

I went to the anarchist/abolitionist healthcare conference this weekend, and it was really a beautiful experience that I don't even have words for. Being able to share resources, knowledge, dreams, and joy together with other people invested in this work was so special, and I gained a ton of hope by seeing the many ways that other people are actively engaged in resisting these fucked up systems and building care into our communities. I gave a presentation about psych abolition, talked about resistance within the psych ward, and got a standing ovation from a room filled with 50 people, many of whom were mental health professionals looking to build solidarity. I legitimately almost cried because of being to have that experience with my mad comrades. I met so many beautiful crazy people who intimately understand what it means to survive as a mad person, and just gained so much knowledge from people actively putting their abolitionist values into practice. I want to share a few of my favorite resources that I became aware of at this conference, and I'll make another post later with some of my key takeaways.

Mutual Aid Self/Social Therapy: This is a support framework designed by one of my friends that provides an intentional structure for providing therapetuic support within communities, especially organizing communities where there's a lot of burnout. It offers so many resources for skills training to allow anyone, whether you have a background in emotional support or not, to set this up within your community. The framework is purposefully not hierarchial or transactional, and allows for actually addressing people's material conditions as well as providing space for emotional processing.

Of Unsound Mind: Incredible archive and research on psychiatric history. Mostly focused around America, but also has some info on other countries. The author of the website will be coming out with a book later this year, which I think is mostly going to be about the Trieste, Basaglia, and that history of psych resistance in Italy.

Power makes us Sick: Collective that focuses on autonomous healthcare and emotional support, especially in terms of autonomous trans healthcare. Has some fabulous zines and resources.

A Corpse among Corpses: Incredible documentary about asylum graveyards in the Midwest and the trade of graverobbing for experimentation in medical schools, and how this connects to settler colonialism, slavery, eugenics, and modern gentrification. Really do want to emphasize a trigger warning for genocide, eugenics, medical violence, self harm, antiblack racism, instituionalization, and lots of discussion of death. I talked a lot with the filmmakers, and really appreciated their care and intent in making this film as a way of bearing witness rather than exploiting atrocity in the name of art, but do want to be very clear that this film is incredibly heavy to watch and might be something worth doing with other people. It was deeply impactful for me, and made me tear up many times.

The Living Museum: Through transforming the old Creedmoor hospital grounds into a musuem and workspace for current patients to showcase their art, this space celebrates psychiatric resistance, transformation, struggle, and joy. I really want to go visit and share in that space, as it seems just so fucking cool. It seems like you might need to contact directly to schedule a visit.

Cahoots Crisis Response Model: This is one model for crisi intervention teams that respond instead of police. They are not perfect, still have some enagement with police, but are an interesting example of how to try to implement these types of programs. Since theyv'e been around for 25 years, they have a lot of knoweldeg and could be a good first group to reach out to if you're trying to create this in your community.

Overall this whole weekend was a beautiful example of how to put our values into practice, and really just wanted to share these projects with you all!

it's okay if you aren't writing right now. it's okay not to be online. it's okay to take breaks. this is a hobby, not a job, and you should spend your time however you want to, not how others may want you to. don't stress yourself over not being around enough; it doesn't matter if you take days, weeks, or even months — it's okay to do things the way it works best for you. and if that means taking longer to reply, then so be it. people are usually far more understanding than we give them credit for.

hi! never expected to be making this post but I'm designing some hotchgirl merch! I've seen a couple of posts floating around about hotch themed shirts and I thought, hey, I can do that! this is the first design I've come up with:

I'm moving to another country (🇦🇺) in a couple of weeks, so it'll take me some time to get settled in, but they should be up on redbubble in September! If you have any suggestions or requests for other designs, let me know :) I'll reblog this post once they're online, and share the link with y'all, if you wanna be tagged let me know and I can tag you once they're up!

For total transparency, I will be making a designer's commission (via Redbubble) of about 10% for each item sold, so I'll make about $3 from a shirt, for instance. I have no control over how much the things will cost, that's completely up to Redbubble. Depending on the design, there'll also be options for stickers, laptop skins, mugs, and the like :)

tagging @greg-montgomery for hyping me up and helping me come up with the design! 💗💗💗

For the sake of having an easy-to-access post for my fics, here is a link to my works: my fic detailing Snatcher's backstory and a link to the fic detailing character descriptions for the people of Subcon Forest!

I am ridiculously proud of how far I’ve come, the other night’s makeup practice really showed visible improvement! I clearly have things I need to work on, and I didn’t use setting spray since I’m just practicing (hence the smudged nose, thanks to my glasses), but I feel great about it! Eye shadow is also still not my friend, these are Ben Nye water palettes, but I’m determined to keep trying, and I learned I love pomade and definitely want to keep the Stamos ‘stache.

It’s not bad for someone with dyspraxia and bad eyes who never touched makeup as a teenager and is learning with their mom’s old brushes.

It’s great to feel confident in my beginner makeup skills, especially since I’ve always been very self conscious about my lack of ability. 💜

Brain still not letting me write so here are some fresh Yoter outfits! You can't really read the pajamas on #7 but it says "I wanna nut in this boy so bad but I got a coochie" lmfao.

I've seen a bunch of imagines for when the ball dropped, but what about this?

You and your F/O arriving home after celebrating the New Year and just being SO sleepy

Or maybe you both stayed in and watched the ball drop on TV!

Either way, imagine getting ready for bed together. No words shared, just a peaceful silence as you help each other

Snuggling up in bed, happy and thankful you got to ring in the New Year with them

And then waking up in the morning with them by your side

Spending the day resting and relaxing with nothing to worry about except maybe what to have for breakfast

Pretty much just starting the New Year off right by resting and relaxing with your F/O
